The title points to the Lake Shore, the stretch of track that hugged the southern edges of Lake Erie and Lake Michigan and carried passengers and freight between Buffalo and Chicago. The Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway, which operated much of that route in the nineteenth century, became one of the most celebrated lines in the country, and its trains were known for running close to the water with wide views of the shoreline. Trains like these tied together the growing industrial cities of the Great Lakes region during the decades after the Civil War. Look at how the track, the landscape and the train itself share the frame, since that balance was part of how railroads presented themselves to the public.
